You must use DES in FreeBSD > 2. cp /etc/master.passwd /etc/master.passwd.bak > 3. use vipw and include Linux /etc/passwd efter FreeBSD /etc/passwd > 4. delete linux root etc accounts > 5. add the missing account expiration etc. fields on every > Linux passwd file line (after group id the characters ::0:0) > 6. exit vipw 1. You must use DES in FreeBSD 2. cp /etc/master.passwd /etc/master.passwd.bak 3. delete linux system accounts (root, daemon, opr, ...) 4. write a shell script to read a line in the old passwd, add account expiration fields, write to the new passwd (append mode :) 5. run it 6. run pwd_mkdb (man pwd_mkdb). 7.
